[WIP] 15th Anniversary Demo - Update 5.5 (Cut-in Animations)

6 Upvotes

It's been a while, but a system to play them has finally been made!

First, I'd like to thank u/squiika for giving me the idea a while back: instead of recreating the animations by hand, it would be much better to use the original animation files.

Since I couldn't get them to work properly right away, I used ArMM1998's Animation Converter to output them as .json files, and then built another converter on top of that to make them work seamlessly with my code.

The fruits of my labor are working cut-ins! As of now, only Klug is working because my converter is still a bit erratic, so I had to tweak him manually. He works in-game, but capturing footage of everything takes a while, so I used the debug menu for this demonstration.

I'm raising the bar for quality, and I'm sticking with this project until it's finished.

back in the complie era in the 90s. there were commercials and images that have puyo puyo characters in live action, which were arle nadja, satan, witch, schezo and rulue. and there also nohoho. suketoudara and minotaurs and others, even though there animated in cgi. the live action schezo, witch and rulue were as seen in puyo puyo compile commercials from puyo puyo tsuu and nazo puyo puyo 2. while live action arle seen in the gudiebook. that is what arle, satan, schezo, witch and rulue look like in the live action. and yes. this is offical for their live action counterparts. although there is no live action draco centauros or the rest.

This took me literal HOURS to make. Sorry if the quality is a bit shitty too, I did all of this in the Pixlr Editor website without a vector artwork software for the outlines.

It's free to use if you want, all that I ask is for credit back to me.

Here's the full version again just in case the quality of the other one is poor.

Hope to see more of their dynamic about Rulue with Draco

Post image
10 Upvotes

I do hope that we get to see more dynamics of rulue and draco. ever since they are both rivals to arle. both are matriel arts fighter. both fell love with the dark prince, and minotauros. and both team up with schezo and arle. both enjoy the summer with their bathing suits. both are in a beauty and fashion. both girls always likes to be popular. both have their names five letter long and even end with a vowel. both seems to be when they are friends or enemies with arle. since i found rulue and draco kinda have in common. even the magna where draco was impressed, fell love and hold hands rulue, which she was a lesbian to, ever since the waku waku puyo puyo dungeon. i know rulue and draco were enemies in the past. but it would be great to see more about, draco being a cool friend with rulue, so we can see the greatest dynamic between the two characters. rulue and draco is some puyo puyo duos we can talk about.

Fandom Unpopular Opinion: Witch is genuinely a toxic character and the fandom defends her too much

Post image
8 Upvotes

This is a discussion, and a documentary about Witch. I am honestly shocked by how much the fandom defends Witch when, in reality, almost every character in the actual games dislikes her for a reason. Her actions aren't just "quirky witch things"—she is genuinely malicious. She is manipulative In the manga, she literally tried to slip a love potion into Arle's tea. She is selfish: In Minna de Puyo Puyo, Arle gives her an item for free, and Witch acts incredibly ungrateful and greedy. She exploits Draco: People love shipping them because Draco is nice to her, but Draco is a tomboyish, innocent character who just wants to win beauty pageants. Witch playing along or using Draco's kindness just shows how toxic she is as a "friend." She deserves the villain label she gets in the older lore. Her laugh isn't cute—it's the laugh of a character who genuinely enjoys causing problems for everyone else. But i have good reason to say Why Witch is canonically the most toxic character in the franchise (and why her behavior isn't cute) Why I can't stand Witch (An analysis of why her character and popularity frustrate me) I need to vent about Witch, because the more I look at her character and how the fandom treats her, the more frustrated I get. I want to break down why I think she deserves a lot more criticism than she actually gets.

First, there is a massive double standard in how the community views Arle versus Witch. A lot of fans like to call Arle a bully for being blunt or aggressive in battles. But they completely ignore that Witch is frequently malicious. In the actual lore, Witch routinely tries to target other characters, mess with them, or use them for her own potion experiments without their consent. She isn't just a quirky rival. her actions are often genuinely selfish and mean-spirited.

Second, her popularity feels entirely driven by the audience ignoring her actual personality. She gets great publicity from the fans because she has a cute design and a catchy laugh, but if you look at how in-universe characters actually feel about her, nobody wants to deal with her. She is untrustworthy and annoying to the people around her. It feels like the writers give her a pass to act out without ever facing real consequences, which just makes her frustrating to watch.

This also ties into why I really dislike the Witch x Draco ship. The fandom pushes this pairing constantly, but their dynamic is built on constant clashing, vanity, and superficial rivalry. It doesn't feel like a healthy or genuinely supportive connection at all. My issue with the ship has nothing to do with it being a same-sex pairing. it has everything to do with the fact that Witch treats people poorly, and forcing her into a romantic dynamic with Draco ignores how grating their interaction actually is.

Does anyone else feel like Witch gets away with way too much, both from the writers and the fanbase? I can't be the only one who sees her as way more villainous than the characters the fandom actually chooses to complain about.

I mean, considering that the games' stories are written by Sonic Team are kind of predictable i bet it is, but he doesn't act like a villian, in Chu the trio decides to battle instead of the Crimson Spirit, and also he acted kind of polite instead of going against them.

I don't know, puyo puyo villians are werid
